Cristiano Ronaldo maintained his impressive scoring form, striking twice in the first half to inspire Al Nassr to a convincing 3–0 win over Al Akhdoud and raise his career goal tally to 956.

The Al Nassr skipper broke the deadlock with a calm finish before doubling his tally prior to halftime, giving his team a commanding advantage.

The two goals once again highlighted Ronaldo’s lasting impact and sharp finishing, even at this advanced stage of his celebrated career.

Al Nassr controlled proceedings from start to finish, keeping Al Akhdoud quiet in attack while dictating the tempo and possession.

Their dominance was capped late on when fellow Portuguese attacker João Félix found the net to score the third goal, putting the result beyond doubt.

The win sees Al Nassr move four points ahead of closest challengers Al Hilal at the summit of the table, boosting their title charge.

With Ronaldo continuing to deliver in crucial moments, Al Nassr’s quest for the league crown remains firmly on course.
